Bennett M80 Complete Sport 8" x 10" Hydraulic Trim Tab Kit for Boats 17-20 ft
The Bennett M80 Complete Sport Hydraulic Trim Tab Kit is a full boat trim tab system built to help your boat get on plane faster and stay on plane at intermediate speeds. By keeping the hull on plane longer, the M80 system improves fuel efficiency and speed while also giving you a way to correct uneven loading -- if one side of your boat sits lower than the other, the tabs provide lift on the opposite side to level the ride and improve visibility and safety at the helm.
Each M80 kit includes two 8 inch wide by 10 inch deep trim tab planes driven by two A1200SRC hydraulic actuators. These actuators are strong, flexible nylon/fiberglass hydraulic cylinders that push the tabs into position, and all of the hydraulic lines and wiring run internally, concealed by the upper hinge, so they are not exposed to harsh marine environments. A Euro Style Rocker Control Unit with wiring is included to operate the system from the helm, along with the V351HPU1 hydraulic power unit, a hardware bag, and 20 feet of hydraulic tubing.
This kit is sized for boats 17 to 20 feet and is recommended for flat boats, center consoles, trailered boats, cuddy cabins, dual consoles, deck boats, bowriders, bass boats, walkarounds, runabouts and ribs, and cruisers. It is easy to install and service and requires minimal maintenance over its lifespan, and it is backed by a 5 Year No-Hassle Warranty.
